The ninth annual G.A.N.G awards took place in San Francisco last week (March 3) and were as I hoped, with the Music of the Year award going to Red Dead Redemption – Yeehaw!
The musical aces of the soundtrack, Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, were also recognised, winning the Rookie(s) of the Year category – something that I considered to be well deserved.
However, Red Dead Redemption didn’t stop there, the relentless game also scooped up three more awards: Audio of the Year, Best Interactive Score, and Best Dialogue.
By no means was it an easy judge either. The Rockstar game was up against some brilliantly strong competition including Heavy Rain, which unfortunately won nothing, Halo: Reach, again nothing, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the other prominent winner that day (Best Sound Design, and Best Use of Multi-Channel Surround in a Game).

The 100% free-to-read September issue of Thirteen1 is available now, keeping your Autumn blues at bay with crazy shooters, head scratching strategy sims, previews of upcoming gems and free to enter competitions. Summer eh..who needs it!
Click here and read it now!
This month sees T1 dabble in the shady lie of crime, as 2K Games’ gangster sequel Mafia II dominates the front cover. Does the series’ next-gen debut outing deserve your respect? Or should it be cast aside and left sleeping with the fishes?
The heist and gun play fun doesn’t stop there either, with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days bursting onto the scene in a bid to right the wrongs of the original. They’re actually looking pretty good for a couple of dead men..
And if that isn’t enough run-and-gun fun for you, the frenetic action continues with a special preview of Natural Selection 2, an epic upcoming FPS from Unknown Worlds Entertainment, as well as a review of MMO-shooter Global Agenda, which was recently released in the UK and has adopted the growingly popular free-to-play model. Guns, explosions, crimes and robots…it doesn’t get much better than this! (more…)

This month’s issue of Thirteen1 gaming magazine is absolutely packed with top quality features!
Our DrunkenGamer has been on a gaming binge of epic proportions this month, starting with a tour of “Chapter III – The Elder Kingdoms“, the upcoming expansion for Frogster’s free-to-play MMO Runes of Magic, and culminating in a massive 8-page interview with Blizzard legend Tom Chilton!
The lovable inebriate even found time to traverse the desolate wastelands of Fallen Earth, courtesy of a tour with the game’s senior designer, but not before hacking his way through Rising Star’s top Wii slasher, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle..
As if that wasn’t enough, he also managed to takeover his own version of browser-based mafia MMO, Omerta. Aptly dubbed the “Deathmatch” version, the DrunkenGamer will be using his MMO knowledge to spruce it up with his own ideas of how a game should work.
Our prediction – Omerta is about to see a whole lot of violence…
April saw the guys at Exor Studios release the brand new “Slaughter Mode” DLC for Zombie Driver, their bargain priced indie hit. Anyone who adds 50% more content to a game for free deserves some loving, so we got behind the wheel of the undead-basher again to see how the game has improved since launch.
If the sight of zombie limbs flying everywhere isn’t your thing, we suggest you check out the colourful universe of Allods Online, gPotato’s ’space-opera’ MMORPG, which finally gets it’s formal T1 review. Alternatively, if you’re after something a little more artsy-fartsy (we’re all about class), we definitely recommend you look into unique, hand-painted point-and-clicker, The Whispered World..
